Chapter 548
Xu Ke’s words made the girl suddenly a bit awkward, her face turned red, but it was hidden by the dark environment of the cinema.
The girl glanced around nervously, finding that no one was looking toward them, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
But her sense of relief was too early, a soft chuckle came from the other side of Xu Ke.
“Why is your girlfriend laughing?” the girl asked, forcing herself to speak.
“Nothing, I just find my baby really cute.” Ariel, in the dark, generously showed her big white teeth to the girl, her smile as bright as a spring breeze.
Ariel spoke to the girl in authentic Huaxia Language.
Hearing the familiar language, the expression on the girl’s face froze instantly.
“You know how to speak Huaxia Language?” the girl asked in shock.
“My baby is Huaxia; how could I not speak Huaxia Language?” Ariel replied with a slightly amused tone.
“Then why didn’t you say you could speak Huaxia Language earlier? Were you deliberately watching me embarrass myself?” Thinking about the things she said in front of Xu Ke’s girlfriend just now, the girl felt her face burning with embarrassment.
Ariel looked at the girl with an expression as if she was looking at a crazy person.
“Why should I tell you? You didn’t ask me. If I just went up to you and said I could speak Huaxia Language, wouldn’t that be weird? Anyone who didn’t know might think I have a problem.” Ariel said, tilting her head slightly.
Ariel’s words made a lot of sense, leaving the girl at a loss for words.
Xu Ke gently squeezed Ariel’s fingers. Perhaps strangers don’t know Ariel, but he certainly does, right?
Ariel didn’t speak up purely for fun; otherwise, she could have stopped the girl immediately, couldn’t she?
“Naughty,” Xu Ke whispered to Ariel.
Ariel gave a playful smile, “Don’t you like it?” and showed Xu Ke her gleaming white teeth, like a little lion showing off its combat power.
“I like it, no matter how you are, I like it,” Xu Ke responded.
“I like your answer,” Ariel said with a cheerful grin.
“The movie has started, can you both stop talking and disturbing others?” The girl looked at the couple, jealousy bubbling in her heart, prompting her to speak out.
As soon as she spoke, she regretted it, fearing they might bring up what happened earlier to embarrass her, but luckily Xu Ke and Ariel had no intention of holding it against her.
The couple shut their mouths and focused on the big screen, allowing the girl to quietly let out a sigh of relief.
The flickering lights from the big screen shone on Xu Ke’s face, making his already remarkable profile even more deep-set and attractive.
The girl originally watched the movie, but somehow, her attention shifted back to Xu Ke, gazing at his side profile with a look of admiration.
She was a true appearance enthusiast; someone like Xu Ke, with such good looks, she had only seen on the big screen before—where could she encounter such a high-value person in reality?
The kind of person she never dared to think about was now appearing right next to her, not even an arm’s length away from her.
Thinking he might be the most handsome person she’s ever met in real life, the girl didn’t want to give up so easily.
She thought to herself, she wasn’t bad looking either, considered a bit of a beauty, so why couldn’t she pursue her love?
Moreover, as the saying goes, wealth shouldn’t be shared with outsiders. Why should a handsome Huaxia guy be taken by some foreign girl?
The more she thought, the more reasonable she found her thoughts, and the confidence she had lost just now seemed to have found its way back to her.
Rebuilding her confidence, the girl straightened her back, her right hand quietly moving towards Xu Ke.
She no longer knew what the movie was about; although her eyes were on the screen, her heart was entirely focused on her right hand, which kept moving to the right.
Xu Ke was engrossed in the movie when suddenly a hand covered the back of his hand, causing him to shiver with surprise, almost tossing the popcorn he was holding.
“What happened?” Ariel’s eyes caught Xu Ke’s movement.
Almost at the moment Xu Ke shivered, Ariel sensed something was wrong with him.
“Nothing, I can handle it myself,” Xu Ke whispered to Ariel.
Upon hearing Xu Ke’s response, Ariel realized something, her eyes slightly widening in surprise.
Weren’t Huaxia girls supposed to be reserved? Why was this girl so persistent?
Ariel was a bit puzzled but chose to trust Xu Ke and let him handle this problem.
During the brief exchange between Xu Ke and Ariel, the girl, holding Xu Ke’s hand, acted even more boldly.
Her fingers mischievously ran over Xu Ke’s hand, feeling pleased that Xu Ke hadn’t asked her to let go.
She thought to herself, how could any man reject a girl who’s already in his grasp? His earlier rejection must have been due to his girlfriend’s presence; otherwise, there’d be no reason for him to turn her down.
The girl quickly justified Xu Ke’s actions in her mind, placing the blame for her embarrassment entirely on Ariel.
“Let go of your hand.”
As the girl was still engrossed in her fantasies, Xu Ke’s voice broke through, freezing her grip on his hand.
The girl turned her head slightly, looking into Xu Ke’s eyes, and whispered, “You don’t need to be nervous or scared. I know everything, and you can relax—they won’t see us as long as we’re careful.”
She smiled at Xu Ke.
“What are you talking about?” Xu Ke sneered and asked.
“You don’t need to say anything; I understand,” the girl said, pressing her index finger to her lips, signaling for silence.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying or what you’re thinking, but please let go. What you’re doing constitutes sexual harassment, do you know that?” Xu Ke said coldly.
Xu Ke felt even more confused by her words, “What do you understand? If you really understood, you’d let go. I’m giving you face because you’re a girl; don’t be too much,” Xu Ke warned.
The lights on the big screen suddenly went dark, plunging the once-brightly lit auditorium into darkness, leaving only Xu Ke’s eyes shining like cold stars.
Xu Ke’s attitude was firm, yet the girl’s hand only tightened around his.
“Do you know, you’re really charming when you’re like this. I like you this way,” the girl said lovingly.
